re: #189 reine.de.tout

Two weeks before my mother died of cancer, she was in such pain and when I called her doctor - he told me to get some OTC extra-strength Tylenol.
FOR CANCER PAIN!

I think he was particularly idiotic, but they are really really careful with that stuff.

You know, in Britain they actually give morphine to cancer patients. They allow self injections through IV. There’s a lot of thing the Brit’s have right where it comes to health care, not saying its perfect, but there are just somethings you shouldn’t deny and one of them is adequate pain relief to the sick and dying.
